Removing javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory or patching it to try invoke the underlying TransformerFactory (if this is possible) which is essentially the same thing, is undesirable because you'll end up with a transformer API and an underlying implementation that may not match (correct?)
Removing javax.xml.transform.* is not clear that is safe (I guess because you might have incompatible parser api+impl <-> transformer api+impl interactions?)
